It rained overnight but I'm hoping it doesn't come back until this evening, so I can take Maggie the Girl and Emmett to Chinatown and North Beach.
(She is "Maggie the Girl" to distinguish her in Matilda's mind from her first daycare provider, also named Maggie. Maggie the Girl is Emmett's godsister.)
After I collect them both from the East Bay we'll be going straight to Zazie for gingerbread pancakes.
Then a quick tour through the Haight then Chinatown/North Beach with maybe lunch at Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store. (I love the foccacio bread sandwiches they make there, all oven-hot and delicious.)
Tomorrow we'll do the Mission, I think. Maybe some Noe Valley to get some cherry-chocolate bread.
And also, I'll be finishing up my shopping while I'm touring them about.
I am saddened that Shelly West doesn't appear to have music available online, thus preventing me from buying "José Cuervo."
My Christmas gift (from a combination of people) arrived last night. A shiny new iPod Touch. It's nifty and I downloaded my Novelette from iBooks which was fun, but, you know, I've already read it.
I've decided on Inception and Ms Pettigew lives for A Day as my travel movies.
This is very important!
I want gingerbread pancakes. Nom. I am at work today and off tomorrow and Friday. It's not too cold, which is good.
This is very important!
It's good to get those important tasks done.

Oh, I love that movie. I need to watch it again.
And a friend of my sister's found a used copy of Truly, Madly, Deeply for her, and I am SO watching that over the holiday.
I am in the office now. Bah.
I am in the office but the weather is supposed to get nasty later so I may chicken out and leave early.
I'm debating what I'll do for lunch today. I didn't make anything last night, nor did I pack up any of the leftover Wendy's chili from yesterday, so I think I'll head down to the cafeteria and see what they have for soup, and if nothing appeals there, I'll probably get a tuna fish sandwich and just eat the insides.
NASA needs to do this because launching a space shuttle with a railgun is too cool not to do.
